Re: Evreux Airbase: tunnels
During a study during 20 years with 15 persons about the history of German build airfields in the Netherlands we have never found any underground bunkers.
What we have found are underground tunnels. These tunnels, with a cross-section of about 1 x 0,8 meters ran from a central heating to bunkers with ammo and bombs and hangars. After the war this system is at certain airfields also used for some time by the Dutch airforce. Many 70-80 years old persons told us that these tunnels were 'very high', you could walk in it, they say. Yes they could when they were 4 or 5 years old. Underground tunnels? Yes, but not for escaping Nazi's or storage of gold or paintings at German occupied airfields. Jaap
